First-and-10

Brown led the effort with 281 yards passing and 105 yards rushing and five scores (three passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns) in three quarters of action. Nine different Terrapin receivers caught a pass on Saturday with Deon Long hauling in nine passes for 110 yards and one touchdown in his Maryland debut. Stefon Diggs had five catches 98 yards and one score, a 66-yard pass from Brown tying his career long.

• Defensively, linebacker L.A. Goree totaled a team-high 10 tackles, four solo. Dating back to last season, Goree has led or tied for the team high in tackles in four straight games. The junior linebacker totaled a career-best 14 tackles in the 2012 season finale at North Carolina (11/24/12). Defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson and linebackers Cole Farrand and Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil each had seven tackles. The Terps tallied five sacks on the day led by linebacker Marcus Whitfield, who had a career-best 1.5 sacks. Cornerback Dexter McDougle, who played in his 25th consecutive game on Saturday, picked off FIU quarterback E.J. Hilliard in the third quarter for his fourth career interception.

• Maryland welcomed back 37 letterwinners from the 2012 season including 18 on offense and six starters. Diggs, a second-team All-ACC selection as a specialist last season, leads a talented receiving corp that includes returning starter Nigel King and junior-college transfer Long. Diggs' 848 receiving yards were the third-most by an ACC rookie all-time and his 1,896 all-purpose yards was the sixth-highest total among active players in the conference. Long posted impressive numbers at Iowa Western leading the NJCAA in receptions (100), recieving yards (1,625), and touchdowns (25) en route to first team All-American honors. Running backs Albert Reid and Brandon Ross return in the backfield. Ross led the Terps in rushing with 390 yards (4.6 avg.) last season and topped 100 yards in two of the last three games including a career-best 141-yard performance at North Carolina to close the season.

• The Terps are tasked with replacing six starters on defense from a unit that ranked in the top-25 nationally under defensive coordinator Brian Stewart's tutelage, but returns several playmakers particularly in the secondary. McDougle will pair with Jeremiah Johnson to form an experienced duo. McDougle and Johnson have 38 starts combined. They will be joined by safety Anthony Nixon, who played in all 12 games last season and started five. McDougle led the team in solo tackles (58), tied for third in pass breakups (5) and tallied three tackles for a loss. Meanwhile, Johnson led the squad with eight pass breakups, while Nixon finsihed with 41 tackles, three pass breakups and an interception. The Terps also welcome back Farrand and Goree at line backer along with defensive lineman Darius Kilgo. Farrand tied for the team lead with 78 tackles and recorded 6.0 TFL. After appearing in five of the first nine games, Goree, a honorable mention freshman All-American in 2011, started the final three contests and tied or led the team in tackles each game. Kilgo started 11 of 12 games and finished with 40 tackles, 5.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks.
